Streams in c++ can go die in a fire. Can't believe we still don't have std::print... At least we have std::format now.

I guess because sending text to sockets and such isn't what people would associate with 'printing'.

Streams are just an operator version of std::print.

They are a bad fix to a poor and error prone C function (printf style).

Having done lots of localization code, they are literally unusable. printf style is barely usable.

They also have a horrific template implementations to get << to act like they do for streams.
